Imagine also that only after all those centuries are past will this theory be proved right, and its estimates, bettered. What would you think about this person? Have there been many such people in the past? The present book is about the only such person the author knows of. But make no mistake about it: this book is for mathematicians, even though historians and astronomers might find some of it interesting. If, despite this warning, you are still reading these words and wish for more, do brace yourself for a possibly dizzying, roller-coaster ride through history. It will take no less to tackle the mystery surrounding the birth of Heliocentrism.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Weight: 441gAuthor: Alberto GomezGenre: HistoryTopic: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
